A friend of mine just traded me Knuckles Chaotix (32x) for Zombies Ate My Neighbors. He saw I had the game and wanted bad so he threw me Knuckles. I'd say it was a good deal for me and his nostalgia.

I hit up a flea market and community sale this weekend and found a few nice buys.

Double Dragon V (SNES) with book - 5.00

Excitebike (NES) with Famicom adapter in it - 1.00 (this is second game I've found this month with the famicon adapter, the other was gyromite and that cost my 2.19 at a music and game exchange in Indianapolis)

Super Advantage Controller - 4.00

Handful of Atari Manuals (20ish), Max Payne 2 game guide, A Saturn Console with one controller but no wires (which I bought for parts but pluged it in at home and it works perfectly), Duke Nukem Zero Hour (N64) Cart only, Micro machines (Gen) Cart Only, NES dogbone controller - 20.00

I also stumbled apon the holy grail of vinyl records. I collect Lp's and this guy had over 60,000 33's and 45's stacked in his barn. It was amazing! A buddy and I spent 4 hours digging and walked home with around 500 albums and only paid 120.00 for them all.

I have to say, I don't like 3 days w/o mail. But I always do love that first day after the long weekend. So many treats to be unwrapped! Today's Haul:

Last week I won an auction on ebay for Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II Plus (the second version that gets stupidly expensive) for GC, for $71 shipped.

I received it today, and the game is in such good condition its almost like I bought it new back in the day.

I'm very happy, though I almost feel like I ripped the guy off. He could have sold it for much more.

my Dreamcast arrived from Tektoro today, and as luck has it my Agetec stick arrived from elsewhere, so that's awesome.

Don't feel bad dude, most completeds go $60-90, ignore those ridiculous buy nows.

I think you could feel bad for this guy though.

Just a different setup - the CD runs on a CD unit that is wired to the motherboard. The motherboard has a cart slot built into it. Then both of those send info to the board and out via the JAMMA connector. Honestly, and maybe someone else knows, my guess its either a way to combat the size of the huge cps2 carts, or its a way to fight against bootlegs (having multiple pieces)?

Heres what it looks like (then this setup goes inside your cab)

How long does the B2G2 at gamestop last? I have some plans to buy a ps2 again and take advantage of the deal. Also I was wondering are there any stipulations regarding the deal. For instance, say I buy two cheap games for like 2.99 or so a piece. Can I turn around and get two more expensive games for the get two free deal. Or do the games have to be the same price as the first 2 purchased or less? I am just wondering.! :mrgreen:

Yeah, it's a measure against piracy. It prevents you from just burning a disc to play on your arcade board.
